Thesis snapshot (Cognitor universe)
O EWY replica o mercado de acções da Coreia do Sul — dominado por conglomerados chamados "chaebols": Samsung Electronics (~20% do índice), SK Hynix, Hyundai Motor, LG e POSCO. A Coreia do Sul é a jóia da cadeia de semicondutores de memória: Samsung e SK Hynix juntas controlam ~70% do mercado mundial de DRAM e ~50% de NAND Flash — os chips que equipam servidores, data centers e smartphones. O EWY beneficia especialmente em ciclos de alta de memória (quando preços de DRAM sobem por procura de data centers) e quando Hyundai e Kia ganham quota nos mercados de EV.
Macro scenario & structure
O ciclo HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) — memória especializada usada nas GPUs da Nvidia para IA — é o tema mais importante do EWY desde 2023: a SK Hynix era a fornecedora dominante de HBM para a Nvidia, tornando-se uma das acções com melhor desempenho da Coreia e do mundo em 2024, num caso exemplar de como um ativo de EM pode beneficiar directamente da narrativa de IA americana. O "Korea discount" é um conceito bem estabelecido entre gestores de EM: as empresas coreanas historicamente negociam a múltiplos mais baixos do que pares globais, em parte por estruturas de controlo familiar opacas e em parte pelo risco geopolítico da Coreia do Norte. A bolsa coreana lançou um "Corporate Value-up Program" em 2024 — inspirado na reforma japonesa — para tentar reduzir este desconto. O won coreano tem correlação alta com o tech global: em crises de tech (2022), o won desvaloriza e adiciona perda ao investidor em USD.
